More than a hundred investigators worked through the night at the Stamford home of the woman at the center of a massive investigation after she led police on a wild chase through the heart of Washington, DC on Thursday afternoon.

Investigators are now trying to figure out what led Miriam Carey, 34, to make the decision to attempt to crash through barricades at the White House and United States Capitol before she was shot and killed by police.

At one point, sources told Eyewitness News, Carey believed the president had her home under electronic surveillance and that she was a prophet predicting the president would put the city of Stamford under a lockdown.

As the event unfolded Thursday, investigators swarmed the apartment complex on Woodside Green where single mother Carey lived. The entire complex was taped off and residents were evacuated while the investigation continued.

Residents were allowed to return to their homes on Friday morning and they said they could not believe the chaotic scene in Washington would be connected to their condo complex.

"It's crazy to me that she lives here and went to DC and did that, especially with a child in the car," said neighbor Kiera Cancian.

A robot was used to ensure the apartment was safe before police entered, and a computer and other items were taken from inside to be used as evidence.

Officials said they did not find any weapons or anything hazardous. However, CNN reported Friday that medications for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were found.

Her 1-year-old daughter, Erica, who was in the car, but was not seriously injured.

Carey's daughter was taken into protective custody and Stamford police said the Connecticut Department of Children and Families is involved with the child. They have also been in contact with the child's father.

Sources said Carey's boyfriend is Eric Francis, who is one of the owners of the "Bluprint Club" in Hartford. Sources said investigators have spoken with Francis.

Family members told CBS News Carey may have been suffering from postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter in 2012. Police said Carey was never a serious concern on their radar.

"She was nothing out of the ordinary that would draw attention to her at that point," said Stamford police Chief Jon Fontneau.

A source told Eyewitness News Stamford police have dealt with Carey on at least two occasions in recent years for psychiatric issues after she was fired from a dental hygienist job in October. But it never rose to the criminal level.

Sources told CBS News one of the encounters was December 2012 and it resulted in Carey being taken for a mental health evaluation.

Eyewitness News also learned that a lawsuit was filed against Carey by her condo association last November because she owed more than $1,700 in condo fees, including collection costs.

That matter was settled in February.

Carey, who graduated from the City University of New York in 2007 with a degree in health and nutrition science, had been a dental hygienist in Brooklyn. She moved to Stamford and worked in Connecticut.

Neighbors said they saw a car similar to the black Infinity in the middle of the chaotic scene, and now they're wondering why Carey would have been in Washington, DC, in the first place.

That's what investigators are still trying to figure out.

"It's such a sad story," neighbor Jennifer Ganino said. "When a child is involved, the child has no say. It's just sad to see."

Police cleared the scene at the apartment complex on Woodside Green late Friday afternoon. A truckload of evidence was brought up to Hartford to be processed.

Neighbors told Eyewitness News that Carey kept a low profile.

"I don't think she was harmful," said Karen Regan of Stamford. "She just had issues."

The Sanders Firm, P.C. said on Facebook that they are representing Carey's family.

"From this point, please refrain from trying to contact the family and direct any inquiries to me. We will be giving an official statement in the near future," Attorney Eric Sanders said on the firm's Facebook page.

A Facebook page, which has more than 3,400 "likes", was set up in honor of Carey.

"That's impossible. she works, she holds a job. She wouldn't be in DC. She was just in Connecticut. Two days ago, I spoke to her," read a post with quotes from her sister, Amy.

Unarmed Woman Executed In Front of Nation's Capitol

Capital Hill Shooting is Another Hoax

The smearing of Miriam Carey: How the media bungled the Capitol Hill shooting

After police shot her last week, the victim went from being a violent shooter -- to unarmed but a crazy deadbeat

In the immediate aftermath of Thursday’s fatal shooting of Miriam Carey by DC police (after she rammed into barricades near the White House and led a police chase), the media instantly delivered a certain narrative: A crazy, dangerous, armed shooter was endangering the lives of prominent DC officials and needed to be taken down for safety reasons. When that story was undermined by subsequent developments, a new explanation dominated: The victim was mentally ill and had presumably done crazy things that necessitated her deadly shooting.

But while Carey’s family since corroborated that she indeed suffered from mental illness, the temptation to use this confirmation as evidence that the media (and police) handled this tragedy appropriately, is misguided. Like Alec MacGillis and severalothers, I am skeptical of the insistence that her shooting was necessary and inevitable.

Ms. Carey managed to get out of the car, and was shot by several officers. According to a law enforcement official, she was not armed, and it was not known whether she presented an immediate danger.

Yet, with few exceptions, the media had little interest in exploring those two tiny details. In fact, they unquestioningly repeated the police narratives which—no surprise there—were intended to justify the shooting.

Severalsites ran with headlines suggesting that Carey was mentally ill and a deadbeat (as if being behind on condo fees automatically makes one a National Security threat). The New York Daily News, whose history includes sensational headlines and innuendos, remained true to itself. At that point (Thursday afternoon, as Carey had just been shot), there was no explicit connection between her post-partum story and her actions near the Capitol, but that didn’t stop the tabloid’s editors from leading with innuendo. The story, which was updated Friday morning, has the following headline:

But the NYDN provided no evidence beyond a mention by a former employer, a periodontist, that she’d had a head injury resulting from falling down the stairs and the suggestion she had a temper and was fired because of it.

Carey’s former boss, Dr. Brian Evans, told The News that she “fell down some stairs and she had a pretty significant head injury” toward the end of the nearly two years she worked for him…

The story rendered Evans’ words (denying that her firing had been connected to mental illness) to imply the opposite conclusion:

When they let Carey go last year, “it was nothing related to any mental problems that we were in tune to,” he said. But Evans added that Carey had a temper, and he recalled how she became incensed when he asked her to quit parking in a handicapped spot at the medical building.

“She got very angry with that, so that started some friction. And then from there she was never insubordinate per se, or anything like that, but she tended to go against the grain a bit,” said Evans, whose practice is in Hamden, Conn.

The story went on to note her Facebook comments about “wack men,” and her frustrating dating experiences—as if that were a strange thing for a single, presumably heterosexual woman to post.

NBC led with the headline that Carey was delusional, but again offered no proof beyond echoing unnamed sources. In fact, much of the story alluded to her tendency to be “rough.”

Dr. Barry Weiss, a dentist, told NBC Connecticut that Carey was working for him in January 2012 when she suffered a fall and missed two to three weeks. He said that she appeared increasingly stressed after an unplanned pregnancy. Relatives have said that she may have suffered postpartum depression.

Weiss said that he fired her in August 2012 after patients complained that she was too rough.

It is certainly true that defense attorneys for women on trial for killing their children, such asSusan Smith or Paula Thompson, have used post-partum as the basis of insanity defenses. But defense strategies are a poor foundation for identifying post-partum depression with violent tendencies, unless substantial proof is demonstrated.

Moreover, we heard from neighbors and friends that they thought of her as a happy person, a “catch,” a great mother, and a role model. But those details weren’t in most headlines. By Friday afternoon, nearly every single media story highlighted Carey’s depression and her temper to harden the initial assumption that she was crazy and angry—if not violent.

Another NBC report, again quoting Barry Weiss:

After returning to work from that injury, he said Carey had a “chip on her shoulder” and was too rough with some patients. She was fired in 2012.

The fact that Carey is Black has “politely” been ignored, much in the same way that Aaron Alexis’s racial identity was not mentioned by most media in the aftermath of the Navy Yard shooting. In fact, when I heard about the Navy Yard shooting, I assumed that the shooter was a white male. My assumption was partially based on the conspicuous absence of any mention of the shooter’s religious or racial identity and the immediate dismissal that the event was connected to “terrorism.” As importantly, I knew that most mass shootings are committed by white men, as Mother Jones reported earlier this year. It wasn’t until later in the day, after his photo was posted, that I realized Aaron Alexis was African American.

In Alexis’ case, as in the case Miriam Carey, we hear the standard linguistic “neutral” meme that is ascribed to Black men and women who are associated with violent events: anger, temper, chip on her shoulder, deadbeat. Similarly, male Black teens are still closely associated with inherent criminality, “thuggery,” and other violent, animalistic, and sexualized personifications. We have seen this for centuries. We still see it: from the superpredator mantle of the 1980’s, to the Central Park Five, who were convicted in the media as beasts and brutes, and the defense of stop and frisk by Ray Kelly, Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD.

Never for a moment, do these reporters consider that Black men and women have always been smeared with these traits, regardless of proof. Miriam Carey is subject to these terms—even though there are plenty of witnesses who describe her as upbeat, cheerful, strong, pleasant, happy. These are, in the ironic words of philosopher Charles Mills, part of “an epistemology of ignorance” features of a world made up by whites that preclude a more candid, historically aware, sympathetic understanding of social realities.

Perhaps Carey had a “chip on her shoulder” because she had to struggle twice as hard as someone who came from money to acquire the successes that she had. Perhaps she had a chip on her shoulder because she was being treated unfairly by her bosses and co-workers. But chances are, we’ll never find out.

Not only because she’s dead, but because the same reporters who have no problems casting aspersions on her personality and temper would never write a story casting aspersions on her employers’ tales about why she was fired, or casting doubt on the police’s story about why they shot her dead.
